As Summer Fades

Cup—Six Sentence Story
Samuel had no idea why he accepted the invitation to his friend’s wedding. He had long ago psyched out his former classmates whom he expected to be there as terminally weird. However, after the ceremony and dinner as the dancing began he saw something bubble over in their eyes he hadn’t noticed before. They suddenly weren’t the certifiable psychos he remembered them to be, but rather huggable people.
In the morning Samuel’s memories of the party faded into his intellectual reconstructions of nonreality. But even after he drank a full cup of strong coffee his newfound love for all of them refused to capitulate to the nuttiness of his own mind.

Taste—Ovi Poetry Challenge
My taste is what I’ve learned to crave,
but all that’s over in the grave.
“So, what about me would you save?”
I asked the preacher man.
He said my spirit most of all
so crippled by the early fall
and then the rest: “Hear Him call?”
It’s now my turn to speak.

Ephesians 2:10
Scale—Six Sentence Story
Saul’s blindness left as if a scale fell from each eye when Ananias put his hands on him. His heretical heretic hunting days were over. He now became one of the hunted.
He waited for three days after the light overpowered him and blindness set in on the Road to Damascus. While waiting he refused to eat or drink.
Saul heard the voice, felt the power to the point of blindness and from that day forward abandoned his former ways to obey no matter what the cost to himself.
